Comparable un-terminated GYFXTBC8Y fiber reels retail for $160–$200 (wholesale bare cable) at major vendors like Fiber-Mart and MEFiberOptic.
Pre-terminated FTTH drops with hardened SC/APC and pigtail ends commonly sell for $350–$500 per reel.
You’re getting the same factory-terminated, ready-to-install cable for a fraction of the price — ideal for installers, contractors, and ISPs looking to cut material and termination costs.
